Coastal Kayak & Wildlife Tours with South Coast Tours - Brookings, OR

South Coast Tours crafts immersive paddle and wildlife tours along Oregon’s rugged southern coast, centered in Brookings, a coastal town known for dramatic sea cliffs, abundant marine life, and temperate rainforest just inland. This operation specializes in diverse water-based adventures — ocean kayak fishing, inflatable paddles through striking sea arches, wildlife kayak tours on the Chetco River, and snorkeling off Port Orford. Each trip brings guests face-to-face with some of the Pacific Northwest’s richest coastal ecosystems.

The ocean kayak fishing tours from Brookings offer anglers a chance to cast in biologically productive waters where salmon, rockfish, and lingcod thrive amid kelp beds and rocky reefs. For adventurers who want to navigate geological marvels, the Arches Territory inflatable paddle tour stands out. Participants thread through natural sea arches and explore sea caves, all while guides like Adam provide safety, local lore, and photography opportunities, elevating the experience beyond a simple paddle.

South Coast Tours’ Chetco River wildlife kayak expeditions wind through calm estuary waters, where seals, sea stars, and nesting seabirds can be spotted. Their Rogue River novice flatwater trips are perfect for newcomers or those seeking peaceful river scenery framed by mountain forests. For those wanting a different perspective, the snorkeling boat tours out of Port Orford reveal vibrant inshore marine life, highlighting the cold, clear currents that nourish Oregon’s underwater habitats.
